In this brief monologue, the speaker recounts being on his honeymoon in New York in September 2008 when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. He describes standing in front of the Lehman building, filming employees exiting with boxes, and asking a passerby what was happening, receiving the terse answer “finished.” He notes the building’s LED glass façade that continuously displayed stock market indices, emphasizing the stark contrast between the glowing financial data and the sudden collapse. The speaker reflects that he could not have imagined at the moment that he was witnessing an event that would reshape the financial world for years to come.
